Chapter 124 Salt Entry
When Cui Che invited him to have a meal, Zhao Yuanshu was naturally 1 willing, but it was slightly different from what he had imagined.

There is no silk and bamboo orchestra, no singers and dancers, and no good food and wine.

There were only millet rice, vegetable leaves, and bits of minced meat in the bowl. Seeing Cui Che casually sitting on the ridge of the field, Zhao Yuanshu finally moved his chopsticks as he ate simple tea and light meals with great relish.

During Cui Che's inspection of the beach fields, he worked and ate with the salt workers, so he couldn't always use excuses to throw bowls and cook small stoves secretly.

Cui Che also provided the lunch for the salt workers, and the imperial court was not so considerate. They could manage two meals a day, even for the generous salt profits.

Cui Che has the confidence to provide lunch for [-] salt workers because he and Wei Yi privately opened the beach.

The sale of private salt has not yet been on the right track, and there has been no return. Even the entourage who went to sea to contact the buyer before has no news.

But this is all a matter of time. The governor of Qingzhou and the governor of Jiaozhou will work together. If they can't even set up a platform for private salt trading on this three-acre land, it will really embarrass the dignitaries.

After lunch, Cui Che didn't go to the field again.

"It's better to stay in Qingzhou and help me than to stay in Hebei."

Cui Che said bluntly.

Since Zhao Yuanshu came to Qingzhou, he naturally wanted to find a job in Cui Che's shogunate, and wanted to make a career, to show the attention of those who looked down on him when he was down.

But he still couldn't help being puzzled in his heart and asked:

"Zhao and Cui Gong did not know each other before, why did Cui Gong send someone to summon him specially? Could it be that my father and Cui Gong are old?"

"I was an official in the same dynasty as your father. I met a few times when I was in Guanzhong, but I didn't have any friendship."

Cui Che shook his head.

He didn't explain the reason, and it was impossible for Zhao Yuanshu to continue asking. The difference in status between the two lay here.

Cui Che stared at Zhao Yuanshu, waiting for his answer.

Zhao Yuanshu didn't think too much anymore, bowed to the ground and said:

"Meng Cui Gong will not give up, Yuan Shu is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

"No need to be polite."

Cui Che helped Zhao Yuanshu up and enlisted him on the spot as Tian Cao, the governor of Qingzhou, to join the army.

Brother Che's conquest of Zhao Yuanshu has nothing to do with his father. Although Zhao Shimo, a descendant, will somehow gain Yang Jian's trust and take charge of the guard in the future, but Cui Che has no idea about Zhao Shimo, he is going for Zhao Yuanshu himself .

Cui Che was born in an embarrassing age. Those familiar names were either already in high positions, or they were still a child, such as Fang Xuanling, or they were not yet born. Many of them were working in Nanchen.

And Zhao Yuanshu was someone Cui Che knew well, but had yet to make a fortune.

Zhao Yuanshu was able to leave his name in history, mainly because he participated in the Yang Xuangan Rebellion, but he also has outstanding talents, for example, he straightened out the matter of renting valleys across the country in only ten days, so he was loved by Yang Guang.

Naturally, he doesn't have that ability now, but his aptitude is here, and he can become an excellent assistant with a little training for a year or two.

Cui Che ordered Li Qing to send Zhao Yuanshu back to Dongyang City, while he asked about the first batch of sea salt shipped to Guanzhong.

"Patriarch, don't worry, the four prefectures of Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju will ship a total of 50 dendrobium, which will be sent to Daxing tomorrow."

Zhao Wen replied.

In name, Cui Che was in charge of Qingzhou Salt Affairs, but in fact Zhao Wen handled it on his behalf. Cui Che spent more energy on recruiting salt soldiers and salt workers.

Cui Che nodded when he heard this. The 50 hu of salt arrived in Guanzhong, which verified the output of Tantian. I'm afraid Yang Jian could laugh from ear to ear.

The fact is exactly the same. In the middle of April in the fourth year of Kaihuang (584), the sea salt of Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Juzhou was transported to Daxing by water transport. Except for a small accident in the Weihe River section, nothing happened along the way. A moth.

Yang Jian witnessed the production with his own eyes and was very happy.

As mentioned before, the domestic production of tens of millions of dendrobiums a year cannot be digested, so it can be traded abroad. Salt is just needed and there is no need to worry about sales.

The 50 dendrobium salt undoubtedly solved the urgent need of the treasury.

At the same time, Yang Jian also attaches more importance to the salt drying process. He regards it as a top secret, lest it will be leaked.

Thinking that Cui Che only formed 3000 salt soldiers, how could he manage [-] mu of beach land, so he issued an edict ordering Cui Che to recruit another [-] salt soldiers.

Yang Jian set up another organization to be responsible for foreign salt trade.

Among them, Changsun Sheng was in full charge of the trade with Turks, and Changsun Sheng had been sent to Turks several times, where he had a wide network of contacts and enjoyed a lot of food. There was no more suitable candidate than him.

During this period, a major event happened in Daxing City, Yang Su, the imperial historian, was dismissed from office.

It is ridiculous to say that the cause was a quarrel between husband and wife.

Yang Su's wife, Zheng Qiye, is a shrew, and Yang Su was also outspoken, and even said angrily during a quarrel:
'If I become the emperor, I will definitely not let you be the queen! '

Zheng Qiye didn't eat dry food either, he turned around as if the court had reported the matter.

The ending can be imagined, Yang Su was convicted because of this, if it wasn't for his sweet talk, he was deeply loved by Yang Jian, and it would not be as simple as being dismissed from office if he changed someone else.

Yang Su's encounter undoubtedly once again verified the truth of marrying a wife and a virtuous person.

Marrying a good wife may not necessarily help you succeed, but it will never hold you back.

This is not the only interesting story about Yang Su. In March, before Yang Su was dismissed from office, Li Baiyao, the son of Li Delin ordered by the internal historian, had an affair with Yang Su's concubine. Su caught it right.

Yang Su was furious and wanted to kill Li Baiyao, but seeing that he was not yet twenty years old, his appearance was handsome, and he was the son of Li Delin. I don't know whether it was out of pity for his talent or for Li Delin's sake, Yang Su let Li Baiyao take the Poetry self-report, if written well, can save him from death.

Li Baiyao didn't have stage fright either, he wrote the essay on the spot with quick wit and coherence.

After Yang Su read it, not only did Yinuo let Li Baiyao go, but also gave him that concubine, and even gave him hundreds of thousands of money. He asked Yang Jian to give him the title of Minister of Rites, Wai Lang.

Li Baiyao not only collected money and sex, but even got an official position.

When the incident spread to Qingzhou, even Cui Che was amazed by it, isn't it just writing poetry, and I can do it too!

Cui Che is also familiar with Li Baiyao, the future author of "Northern Qi Book", he read it a lot before traveling.

However, Cui Che was not in the mood to envy Li Baiyao at this time, and he even ended his inspection of Tantian ahead of schedule and returned to Dongyang City.

In such a hurry, it is natural that there is something at home.

But it was a happy event. It turned out that Yang Lihua was diagnosed with Ximai and became pregnant. Calculating the time, it was the fruit of the few days when Cui Che returned to Dongyang City halfway to live for a while.

Yang Lihua's pregnancy is a great joy for the whole family, even Miaorong, Mu Xieli, and Yuchi Chifan are all happy for her from the bottom of their hearts.

Not only the friendship between the four sisters, but also because Yang Lihua did not give birth to the eldest son, Cui Che could not get too close to them, lest they go wrong and they would give birth to a child before Yang Lihua.
